A member asked:

I can taste eye drops in throat and nose. is it dangerous for me to shallow things while having this taste?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not a problem: There is a plumbing system connecting your tear flow with the inside of the nose. Eyedrops of certain types can be tasted. Consider that anything approved to be put in the eye will have no toxicity in the rest of the body. So there is no danger at all in this; don not worry a bout it.
